Prayer for a Field Mouse
by Pat Riviere-Seel
Bless the gray mouse
that found her way
into the recycle bin.
Bless her tiny body,
no bigger than my thumb,
huddled and numb
against the hard side.
Bless her bright eye,
a frightened gleaming
that opened to me
and the nest she made
from shredded paper,
all I could offer.
Bless her last hours
alone under the lamp
with food and water near.
Bless this brief life
I might have ended
had she stayed hidden
inside the insulation.
Bless her body returned
to earth, no more
or less than any creature.

Pieces of Heaven
Little corners like this, pieces of Heaven
left lying around, can be picked up and saved.
People won’t even see that you have them,
they are so light and easy to hide.
Later in the day you can act like the others.
You can shake your head. You can frown.
(William Stafford in The Way It Is)

“I only have eyes for you”
unless a bird flies past
or star shoots by
or bunny hops near
or cat food can squeaks open…
bonus purrs available
for cuddles…
let’s snuggle.

Fibonacci created the math
Jeanne created the colors
Ekphrastic (also spelled ecphrastic) Poetry is defined as “poetry that imitates, describes, critiques, dramatizes, reflects upon, or otherwise responds to a work of nonliterary art, especially the visual.”
John Drury in The Poetry Dictionary
Copper, bronze, golden metals
Glitter, shine and shimmer;
Swirl you from a pulsing center
Orange, turquoise, glimmer.
Curves beguile, diamonds wild,
Vast blue rivers float;
Tiny turning gems roll out
Sunflower seeds round tote.

Jan Hutchinson has been delighting us with daily prompts for Poetry Month. Today’s poem should sound like a child wrote it.
Crayola Crayons in a Box
“Your hair is red,
Your hair is black;
I see it now as blue.
Soon we’re back
To brown and then
Your hair is green:”
Crayons in Crayola Box!
Hair color fit for Queen!
( I scrutinize the roots for a mirror clue;
But find none, save: imagination!)

“Plains Spadefoot Toad” by Tom Hennen
Toads are smarter than frogs.
Like all of us who are not good-looking they have to rely on their wits.
A woman around the beginning of the last century who was in love with frogs wrote a wonderful book on frogs and toads.
In it she says if you place a frog and a toad on a table they will both hop.
The toad will stop just at the table’s edge, but the frog with its smooth skin and pretty eyes will leap with all its beauty out into nothingness.
I tried it out on my kitchen table and it is true.
That may explain why toads live twice as long as frogs.
Frogs are better at romance though.
A pair of spring peepers were once observed whispering sweet nothings for thirty-four hours.
Not by me.
The toad and I have not moved.
“Plains Spadefoot Toad” by Tom Hennen, from Darkness Sticks to Everything.
